Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

kbourgerie @kbourgerie (8780) • United States 24 May 08

If your significant other woke up one day with a wild hair and said to you they didn't like your hair color and wanted you to change it, would you be willing to do that for them? Even if you are a man, would you be willing to go...

silvermoonmyst My husband likes it when i tint my hair with a bit of red. My hair is naturally very dark brown so adding in the bit of red adds in some demention. I like the color so its usually not a problem for me to just add in a bit of something new. However if he wanted...

Is 56 years old too old to have a head full of gray hair??

cream97 @cream97 (29086) • United States 24 May 08

I mean your entire hair is completely gray all over.. Not partially.. Is this too old.. I understand the difference between old age and wisdom... What do you think?

silvermoonmyst Oh that sucks. It really does. My best advice is to make an appointment for a time where you tend not to run late. Wensdays tend to be the least buisiest days. The first appointment of the day, and the first appointment after lunch are the best ones to have. I...

Optimistic or Pessimistic?

Stormy @Little_Stormy (6883) • United States 3 Mar 08

silvermoonmyst Ive always been a bit more pessmistic then optimistic. I think its a combination of things. Internal hardwiring, and upbrining that makes a person one or the other. I had an easy life untill my mid teens yet im more of a pessmistic person. My husband on the...

Woman is suing Best Buy for $54 Million!

estherlou @estherlou (5015) • United States 18 Feb 08

It seems that Best Buy lost this woman's laptop when she took it in for repair. They hemmed and hawed and finally fessed up that they didn't know what happened to it. They gave her $1,110.35 and a $500 gift card for her...

silvermoonmyst Your kitten thinks you are playing with it. If you are wanting to pet him, wait untill he is sleepy and calm then stroke him. A kitten wont stop playing just because you want him to. They have lots of energy and life. They will continue being a kitten for at...

silvermoonmyst Look into buying a baby carrier to put your 5 month in that you can put a large coat over it. I have a 5 month old son and a 3 year old son. I wear him in a wrap under my coat and take my older son out.

Canon, 400D or 40D?

ahgong @ahgong (10064) • Singapore 6 Dec 07

silvermoonmyst Your camera shake issues could be fixed by a good lense with internal stabalizeation. The 35-150 mm is my personal favorite with IS. Its great little lense and not too expensive. around $350 USD.
